[Intro]
*Finger picking*
FAmFAm
I’ll sink slowly into cement, running round the city square
FAmFAm
I’ve always felt a little different, now I can breath in the anger on the dirty air
FAm
grubby beauty blocked out by streets and time
FAmFDmAm
painted their slogans on the silhouette of my skyline
[Chorus]
E7DmG
It is not enough
DmAm
to be quiet on the train back home
DmAm
A change is gonna come,
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
[Verse 1]
*Finger Picking*
FAmF
Enter the decade fearing failing and our heart starts beating in time
FAmFAm
with the white noise and the ranting and raving, their official party line
FAmFAm
we must respond we need a fight, decide how the destitute will survive and then die
[Chorus]
E7DmG
It is not enough
DmAm
to be quiet on the train back home
DmAm
A change is gonna come,
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
[Verse 2]
DmAm
So wipe that shit-eating grin off your punch-able face
DmAm
these people are human beings that you’ll destroy and displace
Dm
when you sit in Kirribilli House and there’s no one else around do you know just to keep your job
Am
you’re putting bodies in the ground
DmAm
drowning refugees at sea, kiss babies screaming vote for me
DmAm
I’ll take you to the future via the 1950s
E7DmAmDmAm
Were we supposed to feel hope when you said you’d stop the boats?
DmAmDm
cause that’s some fucking evil shit, politicizing killing kids, drip feeding fear into our brains,
Am
new leader clearly insane
DmAm
gonna change the culture in our cultured minds
DmAm
start a war with an alibi we can justify
[Chorus]
E7DmG
It is not enough
DmAm
to be quiet on the train back home
DmAm
A change is gonna come,
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
[Outro]
E7DmG
It is not enough
DmAm
to be quiet on the train back home
DmAm
A change is gonna come,
AmAmAmAmAm
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
